What he’s describing seems to be the nature of rear-wheel drive in general. Powered by a V8 engine, the rear wheels tend to spin out, especially after throttle application from standstill. The spin control will mitigate it, but only after it detects some wheel slip. He could always grab the 4WD version, though.
For me, driving my ’95 Silverado on gravel is one of the funnest experiences — it slips and slides, but I’m still in control.
PS: I only do this in safe environments, not construction zones with machinery/equipment and dug holes.
